4

I cannot believe that my little girl is 4!!! Where has the time gone? It feels that we just met her, but Vietnam seems so far away. She's still my little one at 27 lbs and 35 in, but even her doctor says she is much more like a five-year-old than a four-year-old...he also mentioned that her teen years started at three (what fun)!

• The questions that come out of her mouth are questions one would expect from a child much older. Her comprehension of her adoption amazes me and the realizations she has made astound everyone! She randomly brought up her birth-father (something that is fairly atypical-especially at her age). She is also quite upset that she did not attend Seth and my wedding (1.5 years before her birth)~she still doesn't quite understand the 'before you were born' concept.
• I think she knows every song and dance routine in every movie she owns.
  
• She is obsessed with all Lady GaGa music, but the lyrics she comes up with crack me up!
• Her favorite thing to tell us is that whatever it is we are talking about would be humiliating and that our friends would laugh at us (it's usually when Seth is joking about trying to wear her clothes, but she's said this to my mother about various things).
• She has an obsession with how each person fits into her family (mom, dad, cousin, etc).
• She can spell her first and last name.
• She still refuses to wear pants.
  
• The list goes on and on...

Sienna had a great birthday and she got a lot of cool gifts! The rain stayed away for her party so the kids took advantage of that and played outside on Sienna's 'playground.'
